Earlier this week, K-9 officers from the Lake Wales Police Department introduced their new K-9 officers, Bane and Bolo. The K-9s are both German Shepherd Belgian Malinois mix and were both born in Budapest, Hungary on February 7, 2021. Both K-9 teams were trained in obedience, apprehension, tracking and narcotics detection. Lake Wales Police Chief Chris Velasquez stated both teams are certified in all areas last month and are now on patrol.
